Re: [Orgmode] Viper-mode + orgmode + emacs 23.xx on OSX, slowness in insert-mode

[Marcelo de Moraes Serpa]

Thanks Michael, I will try out your settings!

It seems that Cocoa Emacs has several problems. Even if it works well
overall, I've read in a lot of places users complaining about it, and
indeed, it has several rendering flaws, just use it for any extended
period of time and you'll spot a few, a bunch are related to
performance.

I hope the emacs developers spend more time on the Cocoa/OSX side of
things for version 24! MacVim has been getting a lot of hype and
attention lately and is very well supported, to make a quick
comparison here.

Cheers,

Marcelo.
